Struggle in Ancient Times
Chapter 149.1 Table of contents

“Are you saying that Zhao Han instructed you to take special care of those two people?” Liao Tingyu slumped in the chair like a grandmaster, while Huang Zilan rubbed his shoulders from behind.

He didn’t know what had happened recently. Why did his shoulder always hurt now?

“Yes, Sir, and Young Master Zhao watched them for a long time before leaving,” the old doctor said.

“That’s it!” Liao Tingyu asked Huang Zilan to press his hand to the right. “It seems that my little apprentice is really going to have peach blossom.”

The old doctor originally just guessed that Zhao Han had a high status, but he did not expect that Zhao Han’s status was so high.

He used to see him walking around with the government servants all the time, and he never heard that he held any real position of power.

It was normal for the old doctor not to know Zhao Han’s true identity. It was all because Zhao Han used to wear armor when he came to work, and his head was covered tightly. No one saw his true face, and they only saw him when he was taking a bath. While Liao Tingyu, dressed in casual clothes and looking cool and elegant, like he was the young master of some family.

Moreover, the people here were somewhat afraid of the soldiers. When they saw them running past, they stayed away. How could they raise their heads to sneaking a peak at the soldiers who used to kill enemies.

“Sir, as someone who is familiar with the people, it isn’t good to say, but after all, I still have to be honest. Although that child is good, he is too far behind in background,” the old doctor said very sincerely. The county magistrate helped them and allowed them to live a good life. He couldn’t be ungrateful. Even if some words were offensive to the ears, he still had to say them.

Liao Tingyu looked at the old doctor’s senile appearance, he was a bit worried about this matter.

He quickly sat up straight and said with a serious attitude, “I understand this. You are speaking the truth. If they are not from the right family, they have a different perspective and attitude towards things. They will eventually run into problems when they interact with each other in the future. I will consider it carefully.”

The old doctor nodded when he saw that the county magistrate had listened to his words.

“Of course, I said what I need to say. I will leave now. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the hospital.”

The old doctor walked on the road with a smile on his face. He felt that he had done a big thing and good deeds. Over the years, he had seen all kinds of people, witnessed many good relationships, and also witnessed many people went from the palace of happiness to hell.

Such a big gap was because a matter of family status.

Well-matched was definitely not a term used to deceive others, but a precious legacy left behind by their ancestors with blood and tears.

.

Liao Tingyu squinted his eyes and enjoyed the high-level treatment again.

“How is it? Are you feeling better now? Does it still hurt?” Huang Zilan asked.

“Much better, thank you for your hard work. Marrying you is simply the greatest luck in my life. Fortunately, my shoulder no longer hurts, but my heart feels uncomfortable,” Liao Tingyu said. “That boy is not working all day long? I want him to find someone so I could feel comfortable. But now he found someone with a big gap. Thinking about he might be suffering from this; it makes me uncomfortable too.”

Huang Zilan looked helpless at his husband’s complaining expression.

“This matter is not a big deal; it’s just young love, the two of them can’t go beyond the rules. After all, his uncle is there, there is a father in front of the uncle, and there is an ancestor standing in the court before the father, still sitting,” Huang Zilan said.

“We should not intervene. After all, it’s not necessarily a bad thing,” he added, thinking that wealthy people often had multiple wives. It was okay for Zhao Han to marry a concubine; after all, it was hard to find a good husband like his who only had one wife.

“I’m afraid this matter is not so simple. I think we need to curb the development of these two people. It’s not good for either of them if they continue to develop like this. There’s a huge status gap between them,” Liao Tingyu said.

“It’s just a first love; it shouldn’t be a big deal,” Huang Zilan replied.

“It won’t be just a first love,” Liao Tingyu said confidently. “The boy is naive now. He thinks he’s in a storybook. The doctor also said that the child is not from a powerful background. Zhao Han has seen all kinds of people, but he doesn’t lack anything.”

“You mean…”

“The plot in my storybook is about a distressed couple who, after being rescued by the hero, fall in love. In their indomitable spirit, they fight against the oppressive feudal society and break down family status barriers. Then, they got married with each other,” Liao Tingyu explained.

“What’s wrong with that?” Huang Zilan asked. “Isn’t that great?”

“Don’t forget that stories are stories, and reality is reality. Zhao Han is the legitimate son. Although he’s not the head of the family, his wife must come from a wealthy family to help him manage the family business. Poor and common people won’t understand that. And considering his connections, Zhao Han will definitely raise in power in the future, so his wife must be well-connected and well-educated. Only then can he succeed in officialdom,” Liao Tingyu said, speaking coldly about the harsh reality.

Huang Zilan sighed. In reality, love between a high-ranking person and an ordinary person might seem romantic, but it could also be cruel.
